Alameda Runners – Get After It!

Camera maker Drift Innovations added to its strong product lineup by releasing the Drift HD Ghost, a new action camera with several excellent product features.

This announcement is unique because the Drift HD Ghost is the first action camera that has a two-way LED remote and on/off indicator light. Also, if you order the camera, Drift is proud to point out, you are ready to go immediately out of the box – no more accessories, add-ons, or additional purchases are needed.

The Drift HD Ghost has the following features: three-hour recording time (per charge), built-in Wi-Fi, 2-inch LCD screen, continuous loop recording feature, audio enhancement and custom lens, and waterproof casing good for up to 9-ft. in water depth.

Additional information after the jump:

“For years, the action sports crowd has looked for a solution to the question enthusiasts hate to utter: ‘Am I on?” noted John Rounds, Drift Americas Managing Director. “Finally, Drift solves the problem with a two-way remote control. The wearable remote features the Drift Active Status LED indicator which lets you know if the camera is recording or not. Sometimes you only get one shot, and it’s devastating when you miss it.”

The Drift HD Ghost is currently available for purchase with a $399 MSRP price from the Drift online store.

It’s great to see the GoPro line of action cameras get more competition – and it’s a fascinating market segment to watch. The Drift series includes Drift HD720, Drift HD, and Drift HD Ghost, so customers have a couple of different options to choose from.

I’m going to try and lock down an interview with Drift sometime in the near future, so hope to have a follow-up to this story.
